Shoshone Journal, Feb. %.
Among the cattlemen in town
this week we noticed Messrs. p. p.
McGinness from Cold Springs
ranch, o. P. Johnson of Billingsley
creek ranch, and J. E. Bower of
Rock creek. From these gentlemen
the Journal finds that Idaho is one
of the safest winter stock ranges in
the west. While cattle are thin
and some losses are occurring in
this section yet the winter has been
no worse than the average. The
real difficulty seems to be that the
dry spring of last year made the
grass rather scarce and short, and
stock did not do as well in some
sections as other years.
The Idaho Cattle Growers AssO-
citation meets in annual session at
Shoshone on Wednesday, March
23rd. 1887. Where the jurisdiction
of the Association extends, there
has been a rapid decrease in stock
stealing, and every cattle and horse
grower in Idaho should join and
make strong Territorial organize
ton.
Asst. Supt. Leslie was here this
week and paid off the o. S. L. en-
ployees west to Huntington.
Married, at the residence of the
officiating minister in Shoshone. l.
T.. Feb. 18th, 1887, Daniel w.
Kelley and Matte N. Smith both
of Vienna, Idaho.
Weiser Leader. Feb. Is.
1t is said that the new town to
be laid out early in the spring in
the Seven Devil copper district
will be christened Anna Bristow.
Mr.. John Atwell is living at his
country residence this winter, stu
ated on Brownlee creek, half way
between Ruthburg and Snake river,
and Just in the heart of the winter
stock range. He makes occasional
trips to his town house and opens
it for a night and sometimes week.
He reports horses and cattle dying
like rotten sheep on the range be-
low; they are starving for the want
of feed. Not bite can they get
except brush unless they are strong
enough to dig through the snow.
Idaho Avalache. Feb. 26.
John Cane, formerly of Silver
City, but now living on Isle Of
Man, was married on the Goth ult.
to a Miss Louisa Kaighin.
Castle creek has only about two
inches Of snow. Sheep are looking
well but many head of cattle have
died. The loss of cattle in Bruneau
is also reported heavy.
Bellevue Herald.
The members of the brass band
have received their new uniforms.
Two of Ketchum's school direc-
tors were shown through the
schoolhouse at their request. Ket-
chum. will soon build a $4,000
schoolhouse, and the directors are
going around taking notes.
The outlook for a smelter for
Bellevue is evidently growing
brighter daily. The Queen of the
Hills company is now within few
days of being two months without
having any ore smelted; and the
Minnie Moore company's contract
is only for one year. The Omaha
folks evidently imagine that their
city alone has or can have smelling
